INDIANAPOLIS, March 5.
The legislature is over and any hope that
might have been entertained in breaking the
deadlock have vanished. The House met
this morning and voted-50 to 34-to adjourn
until Monday, when the formal adjournment
will be taken. The general impression
seems to be that the governor will not call a
special session for the present, but may,
probably, next fall or winter. The State
levy of l2 cents is continuing, and 40 are the
appropriations for the principal State institu-
tions, and it may be possible for him to get
along for a time without legislation.
